The VTA has established a number of networks to promote sector-wide collaboration among the staff at our member institutions. Networks meet regularly to share knowledge and resources, collaboratively problem-solve, work towards best practice in their specialised areas, and develop Network approaches to key challenges and opportunities.
If you are a TAFE employee with an interest in joining one of the below Networks, please contact us.
